ARTISTS’ ONLINE APPLICATION FORM

Please submit your design ASAP, before 22 April 2019

Painting location
Please indicate whether you can work on your Lion in your private studio/home or if you would be prepared to work in a public space in Windsor or nearby, should it become available.

Sponsor designs
Would you be interested in producing a sculpture designed to a commercial sponsor’s specification? Your design may inspire a sponsor to choose you as their artist but they may wish their lion to reflect their business in some way or they have a design idea they would like to develop with a professional artist. Please indicate if you would be happy to work with a sponsor to a specific commission brief.

Timescale
Are you able to work on your sculpture between April and June/early July?

Lion grooming
Please indicate whether you will be available to make any necessary touch-ups to the sculpture ahead of the auction preview weekend. Touch-ups will need to be made between 28th October and 7th November 2019 (If no, a member of the project team could do this for you)

Recording process
Please indicate if you are able to produce imagery for use on our website, social media, and in marketing materials

If 'Other’ state what:

School Mini-lion cubs
Please indicate if you would you be interested in working with a school, education or community group to help them create their mini-lion design and if you are happy for us to provide your contact details to schools or groups looking to engage with a creative practitioner? Artists will not receive a commission on the sale of mini-lions, so any financial arrangements for their work would need to be made directly with the school or community group.

Your designs (uploads)
Your Lion design submissions must be of a high quality for display purposes and either in jpeg or PDF format. There are printable templates here (137kb PDF). Images/scans should not be larger than 6Mb. If you are unable to reduce the size of your jpeg or PDF to make your email less than 6MB, please send each design submission in a separate email with your application form attached to each email. Please also attach up to 4 examples of your artwork, ideally in the style you plan to use for your lion design.

Please note that sponsors select their artist and design from a portfolio of submitted lion designs, so not all artists will be chosen to decorate a lion.
